People have come to accept dishonesty and sociopathy from corporations as normal and even acceptable unfortunately.

I view it as a symptom of the broader effort to villify the fourth estate and condition people to act(vote) on their emotions rather than a rational look at verifiable facts.

  • Nearly 20 years of attacks, from both the left and the right, across the anglosphere.

    • It goes back waaaaaaay further than 20 years.

      The most recent case before this was nearly 40 years ago under Reagan, and he certainly wasn't the first president guilty of it.

  • Villifying normal people is more nefarious.

    But who told you that there is a Fourth Estate? Was it the very “Fourth Estate”?
